‘Wanted to play’: Katoa’s family’s stance on Tongan medico’s shock calls after hospital ordealwww.foxsports.com.au
Pretty big of Eli and his family to take this attitude. I see TMM reached out in the last couple of days and said he’s willing to help in any way. Could be some real concerns for his playing future
Some of that response will be cultural (you cannot separate the individual from the Family unit either).
Having Woolf there will ensure the family and the player make positive statements about the organization.
The cynic in me wonders about Woolfs whole motivations (I say whole because I am sure he feels for the player). But it is a bit like if you or I were in an industrial accident - then our boss was by our bedside daily......
He is already slightly past the longer average stay time in hospital.
I would say his situation is pretty severe without knowing more, for the Uncle to say he is getting stronger - suggests some physical weakness - but that is only clutching at straws (this is second or third hand information and it is a very general statement by someone who is presumably non medical).
Te Maire will be a great resource for him, in terms of the experience side to recovery.
